White RiverÂ
Music Department
The Music Department in the White River School District is committed to cultivating lifelong learning and a love for music in every child we teach. From elementary music classes to middle and high school ensembles, we aim to help students develop their skills at a high level and find a passion for expression through the musical arts. Music learning is essential to the growth of every child, and we are thrilled to be the guides down the path to musical expression.
Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge the schools of the White River District are on the traditional homelands of the Puyallup, Muckleshoot, Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla Tribes. The people of these nations have lived on and stewarded these lands since the beginning of time and continue to do so today. We recognize that this land acknowledgement is one small step toward true allyship and we commit to uplifting the voices, experiences, and histories of the Indigenous people of this land and beyond.
fostering community through musical excellence
The NAMM Foundation has recognized the White River School District as one of the 2022 "Best Communities for Music Education." This award acknowledges the commitment to and support of quality music programs in our district. Congratulations to the music educators, administrators, and the White River community on creating such a vibrant, enthusiastic atmosphere!!
